What is a Mesopore Matrix, and how does it work?
The activated carbon in Carbostat is designed and dispersed in a Mesopore Matrix. Only Carbostat has it. Simply put, the pore sizes on activated carbon particles can vary greatly, some pores being hundreds of times larger in diameter than others. It is the control of the mean diameter of the pores that can greatly affect the types of compounds and organics that the carbon will prefer for absorption. The smaller the pore, the larger the internal volume of the particle; the larger the pore diameter, the smaller the internal volume of the particle. But, since the carbon particle can only absorb those molecules small enough to pass into the core, finding the right size carbon pore is key. Extensive research conducted at Senscina revealed that the pore size in ordinary activated charcoals is too small to absorb fatty acids. Fatty acids are relatively larger and simply cannot be absorbed by ordinary carbons. The only effect is that some fat molecules will be attracted to and adsorb on the su
